The Presidents st. Louis Visit.


There is some trouble in st. Louis in CON
nection with the proposed visit of the Presi-
dent to that city He was invited by thes
Grand Army of the Republic, which is to
have a national encampment there in Oc-
tober, and by the citizens of the city He
made no reply to the Grand Army invita-
ton, but accepted that rendered by the
citizens. A portion of the Grand Army
wants TO entertain him, and another, but
much smaller portion, doesn't want him to
come at all. 1t seems that some of the
Grand Army people hope to get resolution
adopted by the national encampment CON
demning the Presidents veto of the dependent
pension bill, and they feel that their scheme
will be greatly interfered with by the Presi-
dents presence. OF course their purpose Is
to influence the ex-soldier element in the
next Presidential contest.
The citizens say that the Grand Army
need not bother itself about the Presidents
visit. He will be their guest, and they will
look after his entertainment. A movement
has already been started to have committee
of citizens appointed to make all necessary
arrangements for the visit.
OF course it will be annoying to the Presi-
dent if his visit causes ill feeling. If the
trouble threatens to assume such proportions
as to attract wide attention. he may not 90
to st. Louis at all. 1t is probable that he is
not so anxious to go there as to run the risk
of interfering with the plans and purposes
Of any considerable number of those who
may be assembled there.
Those of the Grand Army who want to
use that organization as political machine
ought TO be given back seats. If they want
to condemn the Presidents pension vetoes
let them do it at their respective posts. The
efforts thus far to secure an expression of
condemnation of the pension vetoes from
Grand Army Posts have not been very sue
cessful In fact, about as many posts have
approved as have condemned them. If the
truth were knowni it would appear probably,
that the majority Of the ex-Union soldiers
approve them.

Typical Southerners.

LoNGwooD FLA, June 2.-Editor Morning
Ne,cS: Aprepos of your editorial, in a recent
issue, on the Typical Southerner" l wish to
call your attention to the paucity of Southern
heroes in the novels of the day. There are
Southern heroines in plenty, but | do not recall
any recent novel of any consequence, with the
exception of the "Bostonians" in which the
hero is from the South. The male characters
generally make no pretense of being anything
else than lay-fgures, that are supposed to repre-
sent some general type. There is hardly ever
the slightest attempt to give them any individ-
ualty of character; they are usually conven-
tonal, and never realistic
Mr.. James, in his Bostonians, has made very
good study of our Southern type and from this
has produced real character. The character
is not altogether an admirable one. and he oc-
casionally makes his hero do and say some
strange things; but it is the most successful at
tempt, nay, almost the only one, to make real
study of this type In the same work he intro
duces some peculiar Boston types, and it would
be interesting to know what the Advertiser
would think to have these types called typical
BostomanS." WINDSOR SMITH.

Quarantine in Florida.

Jacksonville has taken precautions against
the introduction of yellow fever into that
city. She has established conditional
quarantine against Tampa and two or three
other places on the Florida coast, and an
unconditional quarantine against Key West.
She now proposes to have the Key West
mails fumigated.
1t seems that the action against Tampa
was taken because of the belief that the
quarantine regulations there were not
strictly enforced. A traveller from Havana
told the Jacksonville authorities that he had
no difficulty in leaving Havana and in land
ing at Tampa. 1t was on this information
that the Jacksonville Board of Health acted.
1t is stated that if the board had not
established the quarantine that it did New
Orleans would have quarantined against the
whole of Florida. The boards course was,
under the circumstances, a wise one, whether
there was a necessity for it or not. The
temper of the people is against holding free
communication with those communities
which are Indifferent about keeping them
selves free from infectious diseases.

The New York Times says that Mr..
Hyatt, the new United States Treasurer,
has made an unfortunate innovation upon
the careful business methods of his prede-
cessors by permitting the interest checks is
sued by him to go out without his autograph
signature, the checks being stamped by a
fac simile rubber representation of his sig
nature. 1t is claimed that Treasurer's
checks are about the only documents ema-
mating from the accounting or discussing
officers of the department which have not
such a multiplicity of initials and signs to
countersign upon them, as to make their
forgery a practical impossibility. Mr.
Hyatt pleads pressure of business and lack
of time as the reason for adopting the stamp
process. He promises to abolish the prac-
tice.

Man and His Shoes.

From the Boston Courier.
How much man is like his shoes,
For instance, both a soul may lose;
Both have been tanned; both are made tight
BY cobblers; both get left and right.
Both need mate to be complete;
And both are made to go on feet,
They both need healing; oft are sold,
And both in time viii turn to mold.
With shoes the last is first; with men
The first shall be the last; and when
The shoes wear out they're mended new;
When men wear out they're men dead, too!
They both are trod upon, and both
Will tread on Others, nothing 10th.
Both have their ties. and both incline,
When polished, in the world to shine;
And both peg out. Now would you choose
To be man or be his shoes?

Mother Cowles, of Oakville, Conn, spends
most of her time writing to lawyers urging
them to give up their profession, and to
clergymen praying them to hold a conven-
tion to reform the world She tells the
lawyers that they will all eventually be
damned. She says there is chance for
newspaper men if they will publish all her
sayings, do what they can to help on her
work and stop working Sundays. The re-
form Mother CowleS has undertaken is as
hopeless as that undertaken by the McGlynn-

The New York World tells rather queer
story about Congressman Tim Campbell.
He went to Congressman Grain, of Texas,

fair exchange with you. The people in my
district have not an inch of ground on
which to raise flowers and vegetables. l
will give you an order on the agricultural
and horticultural bureaus for all the seeds
coming to me, if you will give me some APP
pointmentS in the Brooklyn navy yard.
You can get three or four fellows job in
the Brooklyn navy ysrd You can say they
live in New York, but have relatives in
your district who are friends of yours. "
According to the World, Congressman
Campbell worked about a dozen Southern
Congressman on this plan. He borrowed
seeds from Congressman of Philadelphia,
Boston, Chicago and other large cities to
meet the extra demand.

dramatic profession, which shows what
wonders may be performed at "the seat
of sensation and intellect" says the Phil
adelphia Bulletin. An actor has been
known TO assume a part at few
moments notice. In such case he
notes down at what points OF the piece
he is "off the stage" Having mas
tered his first scene he has to trust to
these intervals, when he is out of sight
of the audience, TO cram il his brain the
remainder, and so fight his way through
the whole play. This is called "winging
